Methods && Usage

• .coinFlip()
  • Takes no arguments and will randomly return 'heads' or 'tails' as a string.
• .rollOne()
  • Takes one argument (sides) which must be an integer.
  • If that integer is not in the list of available dice (4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 20 or 100) then it will return a string error message, otherwise it will return a randomly rolled die of the given number of sides as an integer.
• .rollMany()
  • Takes one or more arguments (...dice), which must be any number of die groups as strings.
  • Strings must be of format "<NUMBER>d<SIDES>", e.g. "2d6" or "3d20" for a group of one die type, or "2d6", "1d20", ... for a group of many dice types, where <NUMBER> is the number of dice in a group of dice with <SIDES> number of sides.
  • Returns a string error message if the provided arguments to not conform to the specified format.
• .cat() - Takes no arguments, and you get to pet the cat!
